Abstract:

Platooning and cooperative driving can decrease the emissions of greenhouse gases and increase the traﬃc capacity of the roads. The Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge, GCDC, is a competition that will be held in May 2016 focusing on cooperative driving. A cornerstone in the cooperative driving is autonomous driving. The main objective of this thesis is to design a Model Predictive Control for a truck so it autonomously can perform the following tasks: follow a straight road, make a lane change and make a turn. Constraints are added to the vehicle states and the control signals. Additionally,

Abstract:

An embedded model predictive controller for velocity control of trucks is developed and tested. By using a simple model of a heavy duty vehicle and knowledge about the slope of the road ahead, the fuel consumption while traveling near a set speed is diminished by almost 1% on an example road compared to a rule based speed control system. The problem is formulated as a look-ahead optimization problem were fuel consumption and total trip time have to be minimized. To find the optimal solution dynamic programming is used, and the whole code is designed to run on a Scania gearbox ECU in parallel w

Abstract:

Growth trends in vehicle transportation for the year 1989 showed that truck travel has increased from 400 billion vehicle miles of travel to 600 billion vehicle miles from 1980 to 1989, a staggering 50% increase. If this trend continues, then truck travel will reach 800 billion vehicle miles by the end of the year 2000. This increase in truck travel poses operational and safety problems for both passenger vehicles and trucks.

Abstract:

Due to increased demands on fuel economy the question of a more intelligent engine control for driving a truck-mounted crane has been raised. The aim of this thesis is to develop a new engine control for crane driving. The primary concern for the new engine control is fuel economy, but other factors, such as driver environment and drivability, have been taken into consideration as well. A literature study investigating engine control in construction machines has also been carried out and the results are presented in this report.

The models used are the GHR, Gipps, Intelligent Driver, Velocity Difference, Wiedemann, and the Fritzsche model. This research effort also analyzes the Wiedemann car-following model using car-following periods that occur at different speeds. The Wiedemann car-following model uses thresholds to define the different regimes in car following. Some of these thresholds use a speed parameter, but others rely solely upon the difference in speed between the subj

Professional truck drivers are highly exposed to fatigue and work related injuries. Truck drivers are common victims of musculoskeletal disorders, frequently suffering from pain symptoms particularly in the neck, shoulder and lower back. This situation is believed to be a contributor to the high absenteeism in this job category. A high percentage of this problem is due to the adoption of an unhealthy driving posture resulting from inappropriate seat design. This incorrect and poor design is owing to the insufficient and obsolete anthropometrical data which has been used for decades for arrangi

The high frequency with which in-service trains travel each section of track means that faults can be detected sooner than with dedicated inspection vehicles, and the large number of passes over each section of track makes a data-driven approach sta

Abstract:

The development in additive manufacturing methods has cleared the path for topology optimizationby making it possible to produce complex geometries, which would not be possible to produce bytraditional manufacturing methods. Topology optimization uses iterative structural computations tond an optimal material distribution given a maximum optimization domain, load cases and/or otherstructural criteria. The relation between retained mass and structural performance of a swing armfor the vehicle BvS10 was examined for two different materials. The first material was an estimate of an additive manuf

The technology behind self-driving trucks in currently under development for deployment on public road. The objective of this study is to explore and understand the number of industries that could be reached by self-driving trucks with the limits of Västerbottens current road network. The effect from implementing self-driving trucks is an emerging research field. We do not understand to what extent the physical infrastructure affect which industries may be able to use self-driving trucks since there is a lack of exploration and research within the scientific literature. The thesis has been c

Abstract:

A major challenge in the transportation industry is how to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One way of achieving this in vehicles is to drive more fuel-efficiently. One recently developed technique that has been successful in reducing the fuel consumption is the look-ahead cruise controller, which utilizes future conditions such as road topography. In this this thesis, similar methods are used in order to reduce the fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles driving in environments where the required and desired velocity vary. The main focus is on vehicles in urban driving, which must al

Abstract:

Elements of an individuals occupational exposure, such as their posture can affect their comfort during work, and also their long term musculoskeletal health. Knowledge as to the extent of the influence of particular aspects of the exposures can help in providing guidance on risk evaluation, and direct future technical design focus. In many situations the exposures interact, and even if the effects of individual exposures are understood, the interactions are often less so. This is certainly the case with off-road driving exposures. Specific investigations have focussed on the effects of vibrat

Abstract:

Background: The transport industry is facing new challenges such as increased competition between the actors and an increasing shortage of truck drivers. Implementing new technologies such as autonomous driving can represent a solution for companies to increase their competitiveness and gains. However, implementing such an innovative solution leads to a certain resistance to change that has to be dealt with, as well as concerns about the current jobs within the industry. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to assess the resistance to change linked to implementing this technology within Logi
